Description
At seven sharp each morning, Monsieur Bertillon stood before the hall mirror and performed his ritual. A dab of wax, a careful twist to the left, a careful twist to the right, until the ends of his mustache curled like two question marks. Then the hat, brushed and set at exactly the right angle, and a final nod to his reflection. His barber said he had the finest mustache in all of Bordeaux, and Monsieur Bertillon did not disagree.
This S&D Limoges box is a tribute to that kind of elegance. It makes a witty gift for a man with a splendid mustache, a barber or a groomsman, and a fun Father’s Day present for a dad who loves a good hat. It also suits a dresser or a valet tray, where cufflinks and tie pins can rest inside. Anyone who believes style is worth a few extra minutes will appreciate it.
